Jerry West felt that he had found a treasure, but fortunately Eddie Jones told him about this young man in time, otherwise, he might have really missed out on this unborn genius. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Just seeing Kobe's body stats was enough to surprise the Lakers godfather, but that alone didn't impress him, and most importantly, he saw something different in Kobe's eyes. Anger, longing, extreme self-confidence and even conceit.
He had seen this kind of look in another person, and that person was calledβ
Michael Jordan!
This kid was born to be a superstar! To get him anyway!
A bold plan came to Jerry West's mind.
The next trial content is a 5v5 match. Jerry West finally sat down in earnest, and he became quite interested in this talented teenager, and he decided to take some time off to enjoy Kobe's next performance.
And an ordinary trial match, with Jerry West's visit, also became popular.
Kobe's strength has already conquered everyone, and the team opposite Kobe has almost no strength to resist at all.
In order to add to the spectacle of some of the games, at the behest of Jerry West, another team was led by Van Exel's four rookies against Kobe Bryant's team.
Van Exel stared at Kobe Bryant fiercely, he decided to give Kobe Bryant a hard lesson with all his strength, to save his face, although he was blown up by Kobe Bryant alone, but he still thought it was because he didn't do his best, subconsciously, he still felt that Kobe was just a rookie.
Matchup? He wants to pinch this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky with his own hands.
However, Kobe Bryant didn't seem to care about Van Exel's murderous eyes at all, he walked up to Tony and patted Toney on the shoulder: "Big man, play well later, I'll make you the ball." β
Tony smiled faintly and expressed his appreciation, but still glanced at Kobe Bryant with a little gratitude.
The game begins.
Toney won the jump ball with ease, and the on-opposite center's jump speed looked like an old man to him. After he put the basketball away, he didn't pause at all and threw it directly near the halfcourt.
Isn't this big guy stupid? Half-time threes??
The surrounding audience was confused by Tony's sudden move, not only the audience, but even the five people on the other side didn't understand Tony's approach at all.
However, in the next second, a powerful slam dunk sounded, and everyone followed the reputation, only to find that Kobe Bryant was already hanging on the basket.
It's an aerial relay!
Jerry West's eyes lit up, he watched the scene just now, when Tony was still in the air, Kobe Bryant had already rushed to the opponent's basket like an arrow, he seemed to have known that Tony would win this jump ball.
And the moment Tony landed, he didn't even look at the nearby situation, and he seemed to have known that Kobe Bryant had rushed over, so he threw the ball directly to the opponent's basket.
This kind of cooperation is rare even in the NBA.
This big guy is kind of interesting.
Jerry West suddenly became curious about Tony, "Jeff, what's the name of this big man?" He asked the assistant next to him.
"Tony Marles, Kobe's high school varsity teammate." Jeff, assistant to the general manager, replied quickly.
Oh? The second high school student? Jerry West smacked his mouth.
Van Exel began to control the ball, and the cooperation between Toney and Kobe Bryant did make him stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, quickly dribbled across the half court, and began to direct his team's four rookies to open up space, and he was ready to do it alone.
Defending him was Kobe's point guard, a small man about his height.
Hum! Don't you come to guard against me? Van Exel dribbled the ball steadily, and suddenly made a sudden acceleration change of direction that neatly passed his defenders.
Near the free throw line, he saw that Kobe Bryant was about to come over to make up for the defense, so he didn't dwell on it and hit a pull-up jump shot.
I have to say that to be able to sit in the NBA starter, Van Exel's strength is really quite good, as for being blown up in heads-up, height loss is indeed an important factor.
Once a goal was scored, Van Exel quickly returned to the defence.
Kobe's point guard dribbled past half court and was about to give the ball to Bryant, but Van Exel suddenly appeared in his passing lane, and the point guard found that it was too late to stop and the ball was broken.
Watching Van Exel's lightning slam to his own basket and dunk again, the point guard couldn't help but show a look of self-reproach.
Kobe Bryant glanced at the point guard coldly, shook his head, didn't speak, and ran straight to serve.
In the following moment, Bryant chose to dribble himself and no longer bother with the point guard who made a mistake.
Don't trust your teammates? It's a nuisance. Jerry West looked at this scene on the field and thought to himself. Although he also knew that if Kobe Bryant didn't take over the ball, the little point guard would be blown up by Van Exel in countless ways, but Kobe Bryant immediately chose to give up on him because of such a mistake by his teammates, which was a big blow to his teammates, and it seems that this talented young man has not yet been able to act as a leader.
Just when the little point guard looked overwhelmed, Tony appeared behind him, "Don't worry, although this guy has a weird personality, he is still a good person, try to run the position, if a good position appears, he will still pass the ball to you." β
With that, Tony plunged headlong into the interior.
......
It's too weak, Tony sighed in his heart, looking at the poor center of the other party, he didn't even dare to use too much strength, for fear that someone else's bones would be broken.
But despite thinking so, he still turned his back to his opponent and stuck his seat.
Bryant dribbled the ball solidly and didn't give Van Exel a chance to steal, and then he saw Toney's position.
A simple high-profile ball, the basketball came to Tony's hands.
Tony pouted his ass first, then took a step back directly against the opposite center, turned around and hooked his hand, and the basketball wiped the board into the frame.
The overall situation is good, the basket technology is solid, and he is a malleable talent. Jerry West mentally commented on Tony.
The game went on and on, and Bryant seemed to ignore Van Exel's provocation, and did not attack much throughout the court, but concentrated on making the ball for his teammates.
And Tony has enough balls and begins to show off the weapons in his unknown arsenal one by one.
After blocking and dismantling, cut in, empty and storm buckle.
Catch the ball in the low post and break through the back frame of the opponent's center and dunk it.
Grab offensive rebounds and dunks.
He even showed off his dreamy footsteps, although it was not very standard, but he still shook the opposite center forward dizzy.
Throughout the game, the opposite center became Toney's backdrop. originally thought that this was a matchup between Kobe Bryant and Van Exel, but it became Toney's solo show.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 78:56, and Bryant and Toney teamed up to defeat the team led by Van Exel.
I have to say that Fan Maniac is really a crazy man, hitting 11 of 27 shots in the game, scoring 37 points, and 0 assists, yes, this is the stats played by a point guard.
Kobe Bryant is the opposite, this talented scorer perfectly told everyone in this game that he can not only attack, he handed over 17 points, 13 assists, in addition to 8 rebounds, 4 blocks and 6 steals all-around data, while Tony became an unexpected surprise, he used 31 points, 21 rebounds and 8 blocks of beast-level data to make the star-studded Kobe Bryant also look a little overshadowed.
Jerry West got up and left satisfied, and he had enough of today's harvest to start preparing for the draft.
And Tony is also vaguely aware that after this game, he already has the qualifications to establish himself in the NBA.
